Mendel and His Peas
Storyboard Text
- Gregor mendel grew up on a farm in austria, during the 1800's.
-
- At 21 Mendel joined a monastery that sparked his interest in science.
- Mendel discovered that pea plants can self-pollinate
- In self-pollination, sperm from one plant fertilizes the the eggs of the same plant. A true-breeding plant's offspring will have the same traits as the parent.
- They canCross-Pollinate
-
- When Mendel crossed a purple plant and a white plant, he observed that the offspring always had purple flowers
- First Generation Plants
- Mendel choose to call the trait that appeared the dominant trait, and the trait that disappeared the recessive trait
- Gregor Mendel then allowed the first-generation plants to self-pollinate
- Second Generation plants!
- Mendel observed that for every 3 plants with dominant traits there was 1 plant with the recessive trait
- characteristic
- plant height
- flower position
- pod shape
- pod color
- seed shape

- 3.14:1
- 2.99:1
- 2.95:1
- 2.84:1
- 3.14:1
- ratio
